Did not manage to sucessfully setup just by following README

[Bachibouzouk]

If I blindly follow the readme here is what I found out:

• pip install -r api/requirements.txt does not work as the file does not exist, pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt should be executed instead.
• pip install -r app/requirements/requirements.txt worked except for psycopg2 installation, psycopg2-binary did work
• There is no mention of pip install app/requirements/InRetEnsys-0.2a7-py3-none-any.whl but it seems to be needed
• uvicorn api.api:app --reload did not work as 127.0.0.1:8000 was already taken by the local InRet GUI, uvicorn api.api:app --reload --port 8001 worked. Note that this is only a problem if a user want to setup the server from the README of the GUI. If better explanations are provided for setting up the server for use with the GUI on the GUI README directly the ports are not an issue at all :)

I deployed locally with docker using
docker build -t InRet_server .
and
docker run -dp 127.0.0.1:8001:8001 InRet_server
However I am still not able to communicate with the container, do I need a user_name and a password? I did not see where I should configure those but it seems they are needed according to the request to the server

@pyrokar1993 - If I understand well you are creating docker containers on the fly here whenever a simulation demand comes in?

I tried differently, I dumped a .json file with the model from the GUI and I uploaded this file on the simulation server interface, now I get this error:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

[Bachibouzouk]

It seems to me that docker.from_env() uses env variable values that are specific to files on your laptop @pyrokar1993 or that are only defined on a file which is not on github (probably rightfully, but a template with values to be filled by user would be convenient)
